Project Cima part 1

Thanks to the Meguiar’s and Wraptivo, the Q45 (aka Cima 50 in Japan) is about 60% wrapped and I have to say, this is probably thee best vinyl I’ve ever used in my existence of doing vinyl. It’s super forgiving and works super amazing.

We still need to do quite a bit of work but we’re hoping Air from Air Runner will be done by monday by the fine people at Sonic MS. K-Break bodykit and AME Wheels along with G-Fine touches will be providing the other goods. Also looking to get the tint done by next week. Lots and lots of work to do.. Hopefully it’ll make it.

On a side note, I’ve always wanted to build a VIP car ever since John Liwanag had the first Junction Produce cars stateside soo many years ago. He was definitely one of the first guys that got into it and only til a few years ago did it start getting mad popular. We’ll try to build something to that defines VIP and put our flavor into it.

Love the project, can’t wait to see the finished product. It would be hugely appreciated if you could please give a lil insight into how the airrunner suspension is installed and setup, how you came to choose the wheel sizes/offsets and what type of guardwork you ended up doing on this project car to get the stance you desire? (I’m familiar with installing and setting up coilovers but i have no idea how it all works when using air.)

ABOUT FATLACE

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and was inevitably incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved into what you see now, and we are still continuing to grow.

Fatlace found its first home in San Francisco’s historic Japantown, where it remained for several years before closing. This bittersweet end allowed us to focus our attention on the Fatlace Paddock in San Mateo, which now serves as our headquarters and flagship location.

At first, the Paddock seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, where we've set up shop in both Los Angeles and Honolulu. If you can't make it out to any of our shops, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
